The Adamsons Versus...

We're back after a hiatus, raring to log in and ramble about odd stories that take our fancy. This time we look into the Italian province that is building a DNA database to trace the dogs whose errant owners won't pick up after them. That turns into a chat about dogs, pets and militant orcas, before we close with another quick visit to the wild world of Florida Man.

The Adamsons are back after their summer break - which they spent working and otherwise busy, not poncing around in a villa in Tuscany or anything. Our latest episode features our look at Artificial Intelligence: what's good and bad about it, why it's racist, whether it's going to take over the world and whether we can do anything about it. As usual we digress and ramble along the way...

The Adamsons are back, and we decided to lighten things up after our last couple of outings. This is a kind of compilation episode where we regale each other (and you the audience) with some of our favourite stories. Imagine in our regular episodes where we've finished talking about the main topic and veer off into various flights of fancy - it's an hour of that plus some time with our friend Flor...

The Adamsons are back with a discussion ripped from today's headlines, and the controversy surrounding the BBC, impartiality and Tory interference in public service broadcasting. After a wide ranging discussion on the Beeb we ramble off into modern day customer service, dog poo and the latest exploits of Florida Man.

Former kickboxer and reality TV wannabe turned professional dickhead Andrew Tate was dragged from the depths of his online swamp into the international spotlight over the past two months. We indulge in some schadenfreude at his legal troubles but also ask where he fits in to the world of online misogyny and right wing grifting, and how we can stop young people from being damaged by their endless s...

The Adamsons round off 2022 with a new episode just in time for Christmas, and getting into the festive spirit we look at the past, present and possible future of the world's most famous Scrooge, Elon Musk. In an especially sweary episode we also discuss the worst side of couriers DPD - who have been *very * busy this month - and pay a Christmas visit to our beloved Florida Man. Hope this cheers y...

The Adamsons bring you a tie in with their film podcast Double Reel, whose Episode 29 had a conspiracy thriller theme. Here we dig deeper into the world of conspiracy theories themselves, from the early days of JFK and the Moon Landings through the giant global tinfoil hat industry we have today. We also have a quick chat about the continuing exploits of Florida Man and texts you never want to rec...

The Adamsons look into how the mainly excellent veterinary profession can be compromised by big chains turning their services into the equivalent of a McDonald's franchise. Along the way we also talk about vengeful elephants, the fighting prowess of Pandas and inevitably turn to the exploits of Florida Man.

The Adamsons take another sideways look at stories from around the world, and current affairs closer to home. This time it's the phenomenon of animals doing jobs for humans, including fighting in our wars and fixing our electrical faults.

Recorded in the aftermath of tragic recent events, but frankly you could listen at any time and it would be immediately after a similar tragic event. The Adamsons look at the question of gun ownership and gun violence in the United States, and why it's a problem with no solution. Then we try and cheer ourselves up by changing the subject.

With Depp vs Heard prominent in the headlines even though there's also a war on, The Adamsons decided to weigh in on this sensational story and on the phenomenon of celebrity court cases generally. As always we ramble off in a few other directions as well.

James and James tell the strange story of Jeanne Pouchain, who was declared legally dead by mistake in 2016 and has spent the years since trying to prove that she's still alive. From there we ramble off to other topics including Will Smith, resurrecting Hitler, dating anecdotes and toilet incidents.

The Adamsons get around to talking about some of the major events happening in the world at the moment (Hi Vladimir), but first they want to weigh in on the way takeaway meals are delivered in today's cyber world. Florida Man also makes a brief appearance.

The Adamsons are back after a long hard January with another ramble through the news and issues of the day. We start off with the amazing and inspiring story of young Davyon Johnson from Muskogee Oklahoma who saved two lives in a day, but soon veer off into politics, lockdown parties, Covid misinformation and selling your farts in a bottle. 

A festive special episode in which The Adamsons take aim at the torrent of adverts and media takeover of Christmas. That's where we start: of course we end up in all sorts of other places including Boris Johnson's chances of being Christmas number one and the joys of dealing with idiotic helpdesks.

The Adamsons are back with another rambunctious chat about the stories and issues that have caught their eye lately. We start with the story of Nic Cage in his Leopard Pyjamas, lighting up Las Vegas with his shenanigans - we end up somewhere else, as usual.

The strange story from 1985 of a bear that found and ate a prodigious consignment of cocaine, which will soon be made into a film. This is the jumping off point for the Adamsons, taking them through animal MMA, spiking in nightclubs, the COP climate conference and the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi.

James Adamson and James Adamson take an irreverent look at recent events in this new podcast. We start with the bizarre recent photographs of the Taliban taking to the water on pedal boats, complete with their AK-47s and RPG launchers. Just a simple holiday, a PR stunt to show off their fun and cuddly side, or a terrifying training exercise ahead of a seaborne invasion of the west? From there the...
